Do you understand

Do you ever feel the intense need to scream at the sky

And then you get angry because you can't launch yourself into the air and fly away

Because you know if you could that that feeling would be better than anything you can comprehend

Do you ever feel a burning desire to just keep driving

You're on the highway, no plan, no destination, no responsibilities, no expectations

To be truly free, completely yourself, fully alive

I can imagine nothing better, for I can barely imagine this

Wild Woman Free

We march to a different drum
We dance with the moon and sun
Create a world a beauty
We long to live a life that's free

Woman
Wild
and wonderful
Woman
you are free
Bring peace and light
to all you see
Be who you were born to be

We honor all the memories
of those who came before us
Enchanting and mysterious
are we

Woman
Wild
and wonderful
Woman
you are free
Bringing love to all you can
Be the change you want to see

Weary Journey

In the pale, cold, blue
and fading light
The sun sinking slowly
burning bright
My wandering mind
weary and worn
this long journey has left me forlorn
I try to relax
just breathe and rest
But it's hard not knowing
what will come next.

Lonely Labyrinth Heart

This lonely labyrinth heart of mine
may never be found
never solved
never understood
But it keeps me safe
Or does it
Am I kidding myself
Can I really say that these walls
keep me from being hurt
if I'm already hurting everyday

The Stupid Shit I Tell Myself

What if I'm not good enough
Not skinny enough
Too controlling
What if me and my kids
are too much of a burden
Maybe I'm just too picky
I know what I want out of life
I know what I'm looking for
Yet most nights I sit alone
Crying
Unsure
Alone
Eating junk food and wondering why
Why am I not good enough
Am I depressed
Maybe that's why I'm still single

Why Did I Wait

Why did I wait so long
to tell you how I feel
Why does it take a song
to tell you how I feel

I think you're wonderful
amazing
just who I need
someone that I could love
that I thought could love me

Why did I wait so long
to tell you how I feel
Those words were left unsaid
and now you've moved on

I know I felt it then
a connection
but I was afraid
so I held it back
I hid my thoughts
then I went away

Why did I wait so long
to tell you how I feel
I know that you moved on
but this love could be real

Searching for One to be Two

Can one truly bare their heart and soul to another?
Try and try and try
It's exhausting
Searching for the right one
Knowing some aren't right
Trying anyway
Continuously searching
Justifying everything
Never enough
When will it end
When will we find each other?
A perfect match
Or even an imperfect one would be great
Maybe that's the problem
Maybe I share too much
Trying to be open and honest
Trying to be patient
I know what I think I want
I know what I think I need
Hopefully I am right
Hopefully I find the one
Eventually

Shared Time Shared Lives

If I gave you my time
Would you give me yours
If I called you mine
Would you call me
Darling
Beautiful
My one true love
Would you always be there for me
My best friend
Let's have an adventure
Let's see where this goes
Surly time will tell if it's right
But who knows

I know I like you
I know I want you
I know you make me smile
Tell me you need me
Tell me I'm yours
Please tell me you'll stay for a while
I know this may not work out
But I think we should give it a try
Give me your time
And maybe
Just maybe
I'll give you my life
